Copy files from one server to another

Move a backup or a release from one server to another without downloading it first or giving one server a key to the other.

Termiyo’s SFTP page can put a different server on each side and copy files from one to the other: it reads them through one connection and writes them through the other, so neither server needs a key or a login for the other. Use it to move a backup or a release between servers without downloading it first. Folders are not copied in this view yet.

Either side of the SFTP page can be a server. Pick one on the left and another on the right, select the files and copy them across: Termiyo reads them through one connection and writes them through the other, so neither server needs a key or a login for the other.

Recorded in Termiyo against two test servers on the recording machine, with files made for the recording.

Steps

  1. Put a server on each side

    Open SFTP in the menu. Press “Change host” on the left pane and pick the first server, then pick the second on the right. A server that is not connected yet connects when you pick it.

  2. Select what to copy

    Open the folder, click the first file and Shift-click the last (Ctrl-click, or ⌘-click on a Mac, adds one at a time).

  3. Copy it across

    Press “Copy to the right →”. Each file is read from the left server and written to the right one, and the transfers list says when each is done.

Good to know

  • Folders are not copied in this view yet: open a folder and copy the files inside it.

Move a backup or a release from one server to another without downloading it first or giving one server a key to the other.

Open SFTP and put a server on each side. Each one comes over its own connection.

Select the files to copy, as in any file manager.

Copy them straight across. Neither server needs a key for the other.
